The organizations that will afford en-
tertainments for the pull sxt winter,
are now drawing together " York.
The one attraction on which eyes of
public and managers are mos eagerly
| fastened, is the Compromised conjunc-
| ton of those two great stars, Edwin
Booth and Lawrence Barrett. The fol-
lowing extract from the Mirror will con-
vey information that will be of general
interest:
Arthur Chase, manager of the Booth. Bar
rett combination, has been in the citv the
past few weeks making arrangements for the
coming tour. To a Mirror reporter who
called on him at the st. George Hotel, yes
terday, Mr.. Chase said:
1--WE shall open our season on September
18th, at Buffalo, and divide the week between
that city and Detroit going to Whitney's
new theatre. Then we go to Minneapolis to
open the new Hennepin Avenue Theatre the
week of September 18th. From there we go
to the new Opera House at st. Paul. The last
two theatres when completed will be as fine
as any in America. In magniicence they
will equal the Tabor Grand opera House in
Denver. From st Paul we go to Milwaukee,
and then play three weeks engagement al
the Chicago Opera House following that by
opening the new Warder Grand Opera House
at Kansas City, Mo the management paying
q certainty of SIS, 600 for the week. A propo-
sition was made that we open the Academy
of Music, this city, but the date was too
early.
1--WE shall appear, however, for two holiday
weeks, though Just at what theatre has not
been settled. The latter part of this month
the two stars leave on an extended yachting
trip, quite large party of invited guests
going along. For the accommodation of the
tragedians on the road, the Worcester Excur-
sion Car Company is building special par
lor, dining and sleeping car that will excel
anything of the kind ever maue. 1t has
been named the 'Junius Brutus Booth

Hamlet Mr.. Booth will play the title role and
Barrett the ghost In Macbeth Mr.. Booth
plays Macbeth and Mr.. Barrett Macduff In
Othello the role OF Othello and Iago will be
alternated. King Lear will also be given.
Besides these pieces there will be a number
of double bills, Mr.. Booth playing The FOOLS

Booth in Don Caesar De Bazan and Mr.. Bar
rett in Yorick's Love. Thirty five weeks

1t will be seen that Ned Royle is still
with the company, but shorn of part
of his name. Miss Vaders, Booths
leading lady, retires, and Miss Gale, who
supported Barrett, last season, takes
her place. The attraction will sweep
the country like dramatic cyclone, and
its appearance here next spring will be
eagerly looked for. We shall have an
opportunity to display our m fetal on
prices, as four-dollar rates are apt to
prevail.
